Liberal ideology, in the one that designed the Bill of Rights, and such ideas do espouse in the free trade of ideas and thoughts. And generally, this is a great thing to be able to discuss controversial ideas or criticise people in power.
However, other groups figured out that this idea of liberalism has one major flaw - it would fight for the rights of those whom would stifle the very speech they use. in fact, some of these groups would kill dissenters over even so much as minor insults to the head of that state.
It's effectively the single major 'hack' that our system has. And the destructive outcome means the reduction or elimination of the very vehicle they use to spread - our speech, our freedom to petition government for a redress of grievances, our freedom of the press, our freedom of religion.
